Hi,
After taking Steve's advice to explicitly specify port 993, I am unable
to reproduce the error. If I go back to *not* overtly specifying a port,
everything seems to work fine, even without updating to the release that
you mentioned in this email, Benny.

It continually says that it is unavailable.
You can use telnet via a terminal window or telnet app to test IMAP.
Hmm, doing openssl s_client -connect imap.gmail.com:imaps seems to work
just fine.
I did also try your suggestion of explicitly specifying port 993, and that
seems to fix the problem. I'm not sure why I now need to specify it since
I've never had to do so in the past.
Thanks for the suggestion!
If you're doing 'telnet imap.gmail.com imap' you're trying for the
unencrypted IMAP port. I don't think Google supports that. Asking
for 993 or the imaps protocol gets the encrypted version -- but you
can't comprehensibly talk to that port via telnet. Try
openssl s_client -connect
Sorry for sending a couple of emails in a row, but it seems that this is
actually the behavior that I'm seeing:
$ telnet imap.gmail.com 993
Trying 2607:f8b0:4001:c08::6c...
Connected to gmail-imap.l.google.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
Connection closed by foreign host.
So, unlike I said in the
Actually, it seems that telnet imap.gmail.com 993 actually works for me to
connect, whereas telnet imap.gmail.com imap just hangs. So perhaps the port
forwarding on my laptop has somehow been messed up for just Gmail?
I don't know much about this, so I'd appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks again!
Hmm, interesting. With telnet imap.gmail.com imap everything just seems to
hang, but when I try, for example, telnet mail.riseup.net imap everything
seems to work fine.
Thanks for this initial suggestion for help with debugging. Do you have any
further idea what the problem might be?

Hello,
I was recently out of the country, and the hotel that I was at had a very
restrictive internet connection. They more or less blocked everything
except HTTP(S), so I was not able to use MailMate with IMAP.
Since getting home and since connecting to a few other networks, I have
